Music gets to me in big ways. I have a annual song of month. Which is a song that i choose that i believe would be on the sound track of my life. This month is Rescue Seabird.
Seabird was a band that i got introduced to when i went to the David Crowder Church Music Concert(AWESOME!!!) they were the first opening band for Crowder. They had an epic side to them that i loved. They where like a mix of coldplay, Robbie Seay band and i guess Phil Wickham. But anyway i bought their CD and have really enjoyed them. One of the songs i herd at the concert and fond my self listening to a lot once i got home was Rescue. Yet i never really got all the words until i looked them up and this is what i discovered............
Play and read a long(Its sooo much better listening as you read)

Lyrics to Rescue :
I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm drowning but nobody knows it
I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice
somehow the grave has captured me
show me the man I used to be
just when I feel my breath is running out
the earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
broken and empty, but you don't care
cuz you are my rapture, you are my savior
when all my hope is gone, I reach for you
you are my rescue
you are my rescue
I'm swimming to safety, but even with my best
if I don't see that rope soon, this might be my last breath
somehow the grave has captured me
show me the man I used to be
just when I feel my breath is running out
the earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
broken and empty, but you don't care
because you are my rapture, you are my savior
when all my hope is gone, I reach for you
you are my rescue
don't let me drown
can you hear me
cuz I am
"drawlin out" (not sure)
I'm underground
won't you pull me out
the earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
broken and empty, but you don't care
because you are my rapture, you are my savior
when all my hope is gone, I reach for you
you are my rescue
you are my rescue
yeah, you are my REScue
yeah! you are MY resCUE
I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice...
How great is this? :) I love how is being found, yet being unworthy.
A lot of things have happened in my life that changed me from who i use to be; i am not ungrateful for those experiences because they expanded my horizons on life and pushed me towards youth ministry but for a long period of my life i was lost. I lost my self unknowing who i was or how to get back to a place where i was happy and joy filled. Which was why the part in the song that said "somehow the grave has captured me, show me the man I used to be, just when I feel my breath is running out." Really got to me. And how over the last 3 years i have fond my self because i found Christ which is what the entire choirs is.
I was really stuck by my moms post on October 6 really got to me....

I fond joy again and this song felt like it came at the right time for me when i created my blog. It captured my words. And i hope you enjoy it as much as i did. I recommend the whole album to anyone. I love it and listen to it almost everyday.
"I lost myself, unknowing who I was." I don't know if this was on purpose but the phrase lingered in my mind. The process of unknowing myself: burying who I am because it is easier and safer to be someone else. How often do I squish dreams or hopes or life or relationship because I am running away and trying to unknow myself?
